First, from news reports yesterday (various sources):
A young man accused of driving a BMW at speeds up to 100 mph before slamming into a pickup truck, killing a newspaper carrier on her pre-dawn rounds, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a vehicular manslaughter charge.
"He’s charged with vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence,” Deputy District Attorney Terrie Roberts said. “He faces up to six years in prison if he is found guilty."
Superior Court Judge Laura Halgren, who allowed Dallo to remain free on $50,000 bail, scheduled a readiness conference for Aug. 11 and a preliminary hearing for Sept. 12.
Prosecutors say alcohol or drugs were not involved in the crash.
This is exactly what I feared would happen. An innocent woman is killed by the willfully reckless actions of Jonny Dallo, and the maximum punishment is six years. From what I could find on the Internet (with conflicting reports), the average sentence for vehicular manslaughter is between 6 and 30 months — with about 25% receiving no jail time at all.
One lawyer’s site defines vehicular manslaughter as “… an unintentional killing that occurred during the commission of an unlawful act while driving a motor vehicle.” I’m certainly no lawyer, but in my reading of that definition I think I see the crux of my issue — it lies with the word “unintentional", which seems to be the key difference between involuntary manslaughter (which includes vehicular manslaugther) and the more stiffly punished “voluntary manslaughter,” or murder. It sounds to me like our laws have codified the liberal notion that we are only fully responsible for the consequences of our actions when we intended the consequences.
An anonymous commenter on one of my prior posts about Jonny Dallo (here and here) touched on another cherished liberal notion:
it is certain tht jonny dallo killed sum1 but it is also certain tht she wasnt wearing a seat belt either so she wasnt being safe
Blame the victim — a favorite liberal shibboleth, a way to shift part of the responsibility elsewhere. Oh, how I hate this kind of illogical thinking, and what it has done to our society!
Just in case anyone is in doubt, here’s where I stand: 100% of the responsibility for Jodi’s death is Jonny Dallo’s, for making the choice to behave in a reckless fashion that endangered everyone on that road — and which killed Jodi Burnett. I believe that Jonny — and others who demonstrate similarly reckless behavior — should be held accountable for the consequences of their actions, and their punishment should be widely published as a deterrent. I believe that unintentionally causing someone’s death as a result of reckless behavior isn’t far removed (in a moral sense) from intentionally causing someone’s death, and the punishments should be correspondingly similar.
Jonny Dallo should be in jail for a long, long time — and if he ever makes it out, he should never be allowed to drive again. His jail time should be unpleasant: punishment, not “rehabilitation”. I would just love to see a documentary produced about what he did, the consequences to Jodi and her family, and the unpleasant punishment that was his reward — and then require all school kids to watch it.

ReplyDeleteOK let me start out by saying I know Jonny very well. We went to school together and I even played softball with his sister. For one thing Jonny is no rebel in fact he is the sweetest guy I ever met. Now I feel for the women and her family and I dont think that he should have been driving as fast as he was. I know for a fact it was a mistake that is what it was. Everyone sits here and they want to punish him and thats fine but what if that was your son? He made a mistake he wasnt drinking or doing drugs just driving fast. Now if you walked out of your house right now count how many people who are driving fast, breaking the law. Are you telling me you always do the speed limited! The difference is he was unlucky. If he could take back that day he would I know he would. He has to live with this the rest of his life and yes I know so do her kids, but it was an accident. Will he get 6 years probably not! Jonny was speading just like millions of americans do everyday he is not a criminal he was just being a teenager.
With respect, I must disagree with your characterization of Jonny’s behavior as a simple (and forgiveable) mistake — one that many others are making. And while I have no doubt that plenty of people perceived Jonny as a sweet guy, that is completely irrelevant to this issue — his degree of sweetness or sourness has no bearing on the degree of his responsibility. Plenty of people speed (including me, on occasion) — no doubt about that at all. But Jonny wasn’t simply speeding. He was traveling in excess of 100MPH (according to news reports); I’ve driven that stretch of 94 hunreds of times, and I can testify that speeds like that are most definitely NOT something you commonly see. And Jonny passed on a blind curve (as I verified myself) — that is also NOT the kind of behavior most people would engage in — it is a CHOICE that Jonny made, not a MISTAKE. It was his choice to be reckless, and his choice to endanger himself and others. Calling Jonny’s behavior a “mistake” is exactly the kind of responsibility-avoidance that our liberal culture encourages. I find it un-American. And equating Jonny’s behavior to the kind of casual speeding that people do, for example, when traveling through Camp Pendleton on I-5 is a false comparison; the two behaviors are very, very different. You ask how I would feel or behave if Jonny was my son. Obviously I would be greatly grieved by this whole affair. But if the news reports are accurate, and Jonny has a “pile” of speeding tickets that date back to the days before he was an adult, I’ll tell you with certainty that if Jonny were my child, he would not have been driving after that first speeding ticket until he was 18 and I could no longer legally control him. After that, as a parent of an adult engaging in such reckless behavior, I would be taking every action I legally could to intervene before … well, before something like Jodi’s death happened. In the end, though, this is not his parent’s responsibility; Jonny is legally an adult, and he is responsible for the consequences of his own actions.
ReplyDeleteThis is a continuation of my previous reply; on re-reading it I found that I’d left out the single most important thing I wanted to say. How would I feel, if Jonny were my son? First and foremost, I’d be grieving with the Burnett family (and doing whatever feeble thing I could to help them through this tragedy). And I would be mortified that my son’s behavior had this consequence, and deeply, deeply ashamed that a member of my family, my flesh-and-blood, had behaved so abominably. It’s hard to imagine what I’d feel past those…

ReplyDeleteJohnny acted irresponsible as he has done so many times in the past. His irresponsibility caused Jodi’s death and has put a burden upon her children who will suffer with the loss of their mother. Johnny comes from a very wealthy family. He has not been taught to be a responsible person, only that he can have whatever he wants handed to him without earning it. It’s been said that he will get off of this charge without any time served, he’s already out on bail. His family had a huge party the weekend Jodi died. If it were my son that did this, my party would have been cancelled. My only hope is that Jodi’s husband files a civil suit and hits them in the pocket taking away some of the riches Johnny can have handed to him. Money will not bring Jodi back, but at least her children can have some things they may not have been able to get, and Johnny will then have to do without. Here’s an novel idea- Maybe Johnny’s parents will finally put their brat to work and teach him RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteSomeone said dont drop the soap johnny…whoever wrote this article....do u have anything smart to say about that??
Well, I’m not sure about the smart part, but… That comment certainly is rude, and I believe the sentiment could have been effectively written without being crude. But I don’t believe the sentiment is “cold-hearted” at all — in fact, quite the opposite.
ReplyDeleteIn my view, “cold-hearted” would be the notion that a killer should be excused for his actions, while victim of his crime is forgotten. “Cold-hearted” is the idea that a killer should be lightly punished, or not at all, simply because he’s sorry now, it was just a “mistake", he’s a young man with a full life ahead of him, he’s “sweet", or some other such irrelevant drivel. “Cold-hearted” is the frequent proclamation by defense attorneys that punishing the criminal would just “make a second tragedy", and with that logic seeking to allow another irresponsible, reckless perpetrator to remain unpunished and undeterred — and sending a message to all the others so inclined that it’s ok. That’s cold-hearted…
"I agree that johnny acted irresponsibly. But he would have never wanted to hurt anyone."
ReplyDeleteSo what? Jonny’s intentions aren’t relevent — the only thing that’s relevant is what his choices were. The consequence of those choices — Jodi’s death — he is responsible for. If you follow the notion you expressed to its logical extreme, someone could take a shotgun into a crowded shopping mall and start blasting away — but if they didn’t intend to hurt anyone, well then that’s just ok. Do you really buy that logic?
"Do you think making two families suffer will make things right?"
This is very close the classic defense attorney’s stance: don’t punish my client, because (a) that won’t bring back the victim, and (b) it will just create a second tragedy for no reason. Excuse me, but that’s just liberal drivel run amok — responsibility avoidance of the Ted Kennedy variety (remember Mary Jo Kopechne?).
The point isn’t whether punishing Jonny would “make things right”. The point is to punish Jonny for his reckless and irresponsible behavior — the result of freely made choices — that killed Jodi Burnett. A secondary, hoped-for benefit is deterrence of other irresponsible people. Wikipedia defines punish as “…the practice of imposing something unpleasant on a subject as a response to some unwanted behavior or disobedience that the subject has displayed.” Liberals would have you believe that punishment is somehow “uncivilized” or “primitive”. What claptrap! Punishment is an essential tool for any responsible parents, to shape their child’s behavior. Punishment is what a responsible society does when one of its members behaves in a way that threatens others.

ReplyDeletetom dilatush it is funny how u hate a person so much that u have never even met. it is very odd of u as a journalist to make such accusations about a persons character because of a traffic ACCIDENT!!!!!!!
Well!
ReplyDeleteIt’s very odd of you to call me a journalist — I am certainly no such thing. I make my living by writing software, which is pretty far from being a journalist! It’s also very odd of you posit that to hate someone you need to meet that person. I have an intense hatred for quite a few folks I’ve never met: Hitler, Stalin, Charles Manson, … oh, I could go on for quite a while with that list!
Since you’re commenting on this post, you most likely mean Jonny Dallo is the person I supposedly hate — but that would be false. You appear to be equating my desire to punish someone who misbehaves to my hatred of that person — an illogical conclusion, though one that’s quite typical of those with a liberal mindset.
But the oddest thing of all about your comment is the all-caps screaming ACCIDENT!!!!!!. By calling what Jonny Dallo did an “accident", you imply that it was outside his control, an act of God — you put it in the same category as if he struck Jodi’s truck because of a mechanical failure in his car, or because a tree fell across the road. But that is a false comparison, and one that does a great disservice to all of us. Jonny struck Jodi’s truck as the direct result of choices that he made — he chose to recklessly speed at over 100MPH, and he chose to pass on a blind corner. Jodi is not dead because of some unavoidable accident — as your words imply — but because of completely avoidable choices that Jonny made.
Jonny should be held accountable for those choices and their tragic consequences.
Jonny should be punished severely.
I do not hate Jonny Dallo — but I do hate what he did to Jodi…

Listen Tom, maybe if you spent a little more time on your “computer software” or whatever work you claim to do, and a little less time trying to prosecute innocent people, you would be a self-made millionaire. Instead you choose to bring up these comparisons you yourself said were “extreme.” Why don’t you get a job where you actually get things done instead of sitting on a computer all day? Maybe then you’d be a productive citizen to our country. Any moron can sit on a computer and write out of his ass (for example: Tom Dilatush) but if people want to talk about stories, make sure you know a little more about them instead of just assuming you know.

After all if we can make friends with Johnnys friends we will be forgiven because driving fast is just something kids do and we need to accept.

ReplyDeleteDear All, It is amazing how everyone has come to the conclusion that Jonny is guilty and should be placed behind bars for the rest of his life. What is even more frustrating is the creator of this blog writing such hateful comments and provoking the whole city to join up and put Jonny in jail. What we all forget is that we are innocent until we are proven guilty. How fair would it be for everyone to be charged with a crime to be painted as a malicious murderer. Each day innocent people are aquitted of the charges brought before them. Should each person who is charged with a crime have to face such malicious public scrutiny before a trial is presented? It is at this trial where the facts will become apparent. Not some media hype claiming that he was speeding when no accident reconstruction has taken place. No one knows the true facts until the preliminary hearing and it is at this point when any reasonable person should start making assumptions or accusations about Jonny. It is when we have a professional accident reconstruction prove he was speeding. It is when we have witnesses that are sworn under oath that testify as to how they came to the conclusion that he was speeding. Those witnesses may not exist. We will never know until the trial. We should all use this time for devotion to the Burnett family and use our time raising money for the family and save these unsupported comments until after the trial. How would we all feel if the accident reconstruction shows he was going 10 over the speed limit? A habit I’m sure most readers of this blog do on a daily basis. Would this constitute gross negligence, the standard of care that is needed to convict Jonny of vehicular manslaughter. NO! Jonny would be acquited and rightfully so. Let us all hold our emotions and give Jonny the benefit of doubt as our judicial system gives each defendant. Our presumption in the laws of our country as stated in the U.S Constitution is a presumption of innocence, not guilt as we have been giving Jonny. I pray for all of us to come together and use this time to help rather than to stir hate. Lets leave the trial for the jury and postpone our comments until real facts are presented. May God Bless Jodi and her family and I have the utmost faith that our judicial system will punish Jonny if he is PROVEN guilty, but up until that point, I will presume he is innocent.

John had a bruied brain before he hit the truck, maybe speed racers attorney (published above) who seems to be doubling as an Dr. can share Johns whole driving record with us along with his mental state at the time of the accident. Was John sullen,excited, depressed or just plain nervous maybe John as only child syndrome or better middle child complex maybe he is the spoiled baby. I do agree that we should support the victums family and I figure one way is to bring pressure upon the DA to push this case. What is next? that it was the roads fault that it was so fun to drive fast that John just could not resist because he had been eating junk food before the accident and he had to get home to read his e mail.

ReplyDeleteIt doesnt matter whether he was not drinking or not on drugs. The fact of the matter here is that Jonny killed someone. Taking away a mother’s life from four children, her husband and family. There is a actual video of this accident which the police have as evidence. And according to the accident report that i have in front of me Jonny Dallo states that he continued east bound and began to accelerate to speeds he claimed to be up to a 100 mph.When he was west of steel canyon road he came upon two slower moving vehicles. He passed the vehicles using the two way left turn to do so, Then continued east bound. He approached the intersection with steel canyon road at a speed that he estimated to be approx. 100 mph. These are some of the actual statements from jonny Dallo. He also stated that he drove his mothers vehicle that night because his radio in his car was not working and that he wanted music. He also stated that his mother’s car is a fast car. He’s had three tickets in the past. One for speeding, one for making an illegal turn and one for not stopping at a red light. The speeding ticket he claims was for going 94 mph. on the 94 freeway. He also stated then that “he is a good driver when he is not speeding, but as soon as i step on the gas pedal it is a whole other world”. When asked if it was his normal pattern of driving he stated “only on that road”. These are actual statements from Jonny Dallo himself. The actual accident report is 30 something pages long and i wont bother going into the rest. There were many other statements as well.The public does have a right to obtain a actual copy of the accident report. This is not about race and this isn’t about judging him before a trial, this is only about stating the facts about what happened on that horrible morning. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
I have contacted the CHP, and read their web site; both say essentially the same thing.

Or did you? Is the information in your comment actually as authoritative as you claim?I challenge you to prove to me, privately (see “Email Tom", at right), that you actually do have a copy of the accident report, and that the information you’ve presented is accurately reporting its contents.

ReplyDeleteI see that he’s drinking a light beer. His parents allow underage drinking at home. What good role models they are. One day the Dallo’s will take another life with a DUI. Hopefully they can be stopped before it’s too late.

ReplyDeleteYes it’s true they dont even care about the victims family so they delayed the courts just to throw a party with no regards that now a family is mourning because of them they just push that aside for their own needs.

ReplyDeletehey I heard they went on trial on the same day of the bridal shower does anyone know what happend in the trial?

ReplyDeleteI hope he did get a trial because Jodi’s poor family who lost so much is being denied justice while the Dallo’s have their parties. I wonder if Melanies future husband the attorney will represent him???

ReplyDeleteI just spent at least an hour reading all these blogs on this page. My first reaction is wow, are you serious? I didn’t think that many people would have the time to sit here and anaylze the Dallo family this much. I didn’t think any good-hearted american can sit here and talk this much crap like that. I didn’t think anyone would do that. FIrst off… I’d like to state that all you people who are sitting her talking shit need to get a life, and if you have anything to say typing it here on this blog isn’t doing much so take my advice and shut up. Secondly… Don’t think your tough and smart by typing all your shit on this page because it just makes you look like a retard. Don’t worry about the family, the money, the businesses, the cars… It’s about what happened the night of, and the death. Nothing else. So to all you Jamul Bloggers: Get a life. Thank You.

ReplyDeleteAre you really that stupid?!. Walking into a mall and start shooting a gun all over the place and a car accident are not even close!. Should there be consequence for what he did,you bet, but stop trying to make the kid out to be a serial killer. Do you have no faith in the legal system or do we all have to worry about you running into a mall and start shooting a gun all over the place?!!!!.

ReplyDeleteHey, come on Mona’s life is damaged for the rest of her life already her kids are over weight and can barely survive and make it through remedial classes in high school. Her husband treats her like trash and is only decent with her in front of people. And she still has to face everyone, smile, and pretend and act like life is great that is hard to do. And she has to do this for the rest of her life can you imagine so ya she brags to make her self feel better do you blame her? sooo funny
In the old blog, Anonymous said:
ReplyDeleteHow do we know that Mona is unhappy. If you really feel for her then you would leave her out of this. I think Mike Dallo is the monster here. If he treats his family half as bad as he treats his employees then we can feel for them. If he could get away with spitting on his employees faces he would. He doesn’t want to put any money into his stores, yet he expects them to be spotless and looking good. We are talking stores where cases are falling apart and cabinets are broken, equipment that doesn’t work, and no organization. Then he blames the employees for the problems. Come on Mike, let the grip on your money loose and put some into the business, and last but not least, treat your employees better.

ReplyDeleteOne year meaning he will most likely serve 6 months. This is a slap in the face to the Burnett family. Maybe the other prisoners will serve justice to him for what he did.

ReplyDeletethey paid the Burnetts family off for five mil so thats why he got 1 the burnetts requested it
In the old blog, Anonymous said:
ReplyDeleteDo we know for fact that they paid the Burnetts 5 mil or is that hearsay? I cannot believe that the Dallo’s would part with their money without a fight. Our country is so screwed up, we let these outsiders in, then slap them on the wrist when they kill our people. Jonny= YOU will get your punishment in jail, remember when the blogger said don’t drop the soap. Karma my friend!!!!!

ReplyDeleteAll you people who think you know things about the Dallo Family are so full of shit. Not only are you full of shit, but you must have endless amounts of time on your hands to be able to sit here and write all this garbage about them. A word of advice, don’t worry about Mike, or Mona, or their money, or the overweight members of the family. Worry about yourself that the KARMA from this bogus comments will come back to kick you in the rear end.

ReplyDeleteshes not raising money for the burnetts the whole point of the bingo is to show off and raise more money then the other people who have done the bingo and the money goes to the church she was doing it in hopes that somehow God will save Jhonny from prison if he sees that shes helping the church but guess what it did’nt work God didnt care.

ReplyDeleteYa i guess God did’nt care that Johnny went to jail wasn’t that the point of the bingo so that God can see that their helping out the poor but God knows whos true and who just does things to get something in return like the dallos God must hate them too.

ReplyDeleteIt seems so obvious that all these negative comments about the Dallos are from one jealous and sick individual. Get some help and stop being so obbsessed. No one really cares about all of your lies.
